    Celebrating birthday and wanted to do something local. Just haven’t been impressed with ‘the steak house’ restaurant. Haven’t been to buddies in a few years. Very concern after reading so many negative reviews. So glad I did not let that influence me. My filet was the most tender that I can recall from any restaurant! It looked small for a 8 oz but the tenderness was way more than expected. Husband had the ‘stack’, he said it was good but next time would get filet. He said mine was better! I read comments on value and for this type grade of restaurant, of course, it’s not cheap. No quality restaurant is! It’s a higher end restaurant so of course it’s not McDonald’s price!!! It is compatible to any high end restaurant. It is expensive going out anywhere but for the price haven’t had a better filet & a garlic sauce. Friday night and all the servers were also higher end. Get what you pay for.

    Went here last night!!!!!!This food wasn’t worth $128.00. Let’s begin with the fees, supplemental fee?, food tax, another tax and charge for using you credit card. Ridiculous, moving on to the $18.00 for a small alcoholic beverage that was watered down. Horrible. The food arrives for $9.00 you got 4 little asparagus stocks unseasoned and plain nasty. The carbonara chicken which was basically tomato paste, angel hair noddles and two flat, hard cooked chicken breast that were not seasoned. The steak was ok and the Mac and cheese unseasoned and all the food was cold. Avoid this place at all cost. I should have taken that money and used it for gas to get to Saltgrass. HORRIBLE

    Best steak around!! A bit disappointed with my experience when I was told it would cost $4 for a 2oz cup of A-1 steak sauce.

    I could not believe how disappointing this was The steaks were not done correctly and our waitress disappeared several times The cost was way to much when I cam all the way from new Orleans to dine here. Over cooked meat and poor service Won't be returning
